Explanation:Just some additional info, that would not fit into the agree box.

I just bought a car and can explain this from my own experience.

I assume you know what the ignition is. :-)
However, if you move the steering wheel while the key is not in the ignition, the steering wheel is locked and you can't move it unless you insert the key and turn it to the unlock position. I should know, I had to call my husband to tell me why I can't move the steering wheel. ;-)
i am sure that not all cars have this feature, so you should not mix up the two terms
